Oh dear... what a poor caption to a great image!

Cab 12, unit sign is 79 (not a 'Military Police vehicle Number 79'!) and the 'truck' in the background is a No.2 Breakdown lorry, doubtless come to recover the poor wee bogged Chev 4x2 .....

Default Ski school

There was a official military ski school in Syria where AIF troops learnt to ski .

Seems like a huge anomoly but life is strange . And, look at whats going on in Syria as we speak . A despotic lunatic is in charge of the country , again.
